Throw a Can of Libby's 100% Pumpkin in Your Favorite Chili Recipe
Here is a slightly adapted recipe for the crockpot with my addition of a 15oz can of Libby's Pumpkin.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 lb stew beef, cut into about one inch chunks
- 1/4 lb bacon, diced in small pieces
- 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced (or 1 Tablespoon chopped garlic from a jar)
- 2 Tablespoons chili powder, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried mustard
- 1/2 Tablespoon crushed red pepper
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons cumin
- 1 Tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4.5 oz chopped green chilies
- 28 oz whole canned tomatoes
- 12 oz tomato paste
- 48 oz canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 cups water (add more if needed)
- 1 15oz can of Libby's 100% Pumpkin
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meats, pepper, and onion, and cook until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute or two.
- Place meat mixture in crockpot.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir gently until thoroughly mixed.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. I prefer to cook it overnight and leave it on warm, until ready to serve the next day.
Everyone has different preferences regarding how hot they like their chili, so I like to make a flavorful chili that has some heat and then have options such as chopped jalapeƱos, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and Tabasco so people can individually customize their bowl.
